      abstract = {This book explores the contrasting responses to the South  Asian diaspora in Britain of BBC local radio and BBC  network radio. It highlights the hidden history of how BBC  local radio stations developed a schedule of five thousand  hours a year of programmes targeted at South Asian  communities in England. Local radio stations at the  periphery of the BBC built deep and influential connections  with marginalised Asian communities, creating the BBC Asian  Network in 1989 and played an influential part in building  local social cohesion. This contrasts with central BBC  policy that reveals a management culture resistant to  change and unable to embrace an increasingly diverse  Britain - creating a problematic legacy for the BBC.  Finding a New British Asian Sound brings new insights into  current debates around policy and institutional racism at  the BBC, where South Asian programming on local and network  radio remains at risk of closure. Dr Liam McCarthy is an  Honorary Fellow in the Department of History, Politics and  International Relations at the University of Leicester.  During a 25-year career as a journalist at the BBC he was  Station Manager of three BBC local radio stations and Head  of BBC Local Radio Training.},
